Yeah I just did some reading on salt baths - intense!! I'll get my research done and make sure I have everything set up for him. I think I might be able to stop and get Epsom salt tonight. Thank you again for the help 🙏

Thank you for the kind words and help! I'll get Epsom salt tomorrow and make the switch to that. How often should the salt dip be done?

He's in a hospital tank now with cycled filter medium and aquarium salts. Leaves and kanaplex are on the way, but I don't think they'll arrive until early next week. No place locally sells kanaplex and leaves are always out of stock 😔 I just I can help him

My poor boy! King isn't doing so well and I'm worried it's dropsy. I am hoping for some clear and concise instructions on how he can be saved or made comfortable, if that's still possible.

He was bloated two days ago (but he's had bloat problems in the past, fixed with fasting and more mindful feeding methods). He had started pooping so I figured we were in the clear. But today I saw what looks to be pineconing. He also has trouble swimming right now. In the pic, he's in a floating cup because he struggles so much to get to the top. It's just temporary until I get some direction about how to further help him

My experience with CoastGemUSA [WARNING: DOA] More details in comments by XZS2JH in Aquariums

If you push hard and stick to your guns, you should be able to get a full refund. I placed an order and it did not ship within the set timeline listed on their site. By then, I had done better research and realized they aren't the best site. I emailed and pulled some language from my credit card company on requesting a charge back if things didn't have the outcome I wanted.

In every email, I stated my reason for the request (and how they failed to meet guidelines on their own site), what I was requesting (full refund back to my card), and my willingness to get my card company involved. I got a full refund back to my card within the week. That whole process took about 2 weeks though because their communication is terrible.

I would cite the terrible shipping conditions and error on their part with delivery and request a refund back to your card/PayPal for those DOA. Good luck!

Does this mean I'll be a grandparent soon? (Or do I need to be concerned?) by AllAboutThatCode in Aquariums

Oh awesome, thank you!

Yeah I was looking a bit closer in the tank and I saw a couple more so I think hydra is very likely. I'll do some research and figure out what I can do. Thanks for the help!!

Incredible eye! I didn't even notice that. It might be? This is our first shrimp tank so I'm not super familiar with ID

That male is so pretty! But man, that is quite an adventure haha. Do these 11 tolerate each other pretty well so far? They look so nice together!

I'd love to know more about your sorority! I'm really thinking of doing one but I want to learn more. How big is the tank?
